Historic New England, an organization owning 36 historic houses in the whole region, celebrated its 100th anniversary today with open houses at all of their sites. Newbury MA has four houses close together so I was able to visit three of the houses. This is the Spencer-Peirce Little House. It was a wealthy-ish farm that prospered because the land included salt marshes which were important to the financial success of the area. This site is restful and peaceful. The front of the house shown here reflects three different kinds of architecture added in different time periods. The far right section with the door (with a very human looking face) was the original and built after an English country farm. Go out and enjoy one of your local historic houses.
